Drum Cymbal Sabian 19" AAX Freq Crash

The Sabian 19" AAX Freq Crash is a modern crash cymbal that stands out for its power, brightness, and unique sound structure. It is based on the legendary AA series, but thanks to the special AAX design, it has an even wider dynamic range and a more aggressive character. The AAX series is known for its larger-peen hammering, which produces a distinct attack, long sustain, and excellent consistency at any volume level. This makes AAX cymbals versatile, suitable for both pop music and heavy genres such as metal.

The key feature of the Freq Crash is an exclusive dual-lathing process that creates a unique tone. This gives the cymbal a fast high-frequency flash and a massive open sound that instantly fills the stage. Unlike most rock cymbals, which emphasize the high-frequency tone generated by the cup, the AAX Freq Crash gets its unique “boost” from its special surface treatment. This provides a deeper, more voluminous, and more expressive response.

Thanks to its medium-light weight, the 19-inch model perfectly combines attack speed and controlled sustain, allowing it to be used for both sharp accents and filling space in the performance. Its bright and piercing sound easily cuts through the mix, while maintaining musicality and harmony in the overall sound of the set. The cymbal is made of professional B20 bronze, which contains 80% copper and 20% tin. This alloy is known for its deep, rich tone and perfectly combines brightness with warm overtones. B20 bronze is used in most of Sabian's top series because it provides strength, durability, and stable sound in all conditions.
